Ingredients

  • 4 to 8 beets

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim the tops off the beets, leaving about 1 to 2 inches of stem, and then gently wash and scrub them clean.
  2. Place the beets in a small Dutch oven or a casserole dish with a lid. Bake them covered for 1 hour, or until the beets are tender and pierced easily with a fork. Let them cool to the touch.
  3. Slice the remaining stem completely off, then place the beets under running water, and use your fingers to gently rub off the skin. You can use gloves to prevent staining your fingers, or alternatively, you can use a paper towel to remove the skin.
  4. Slice the beets and enjoy simply tossed with olive oil and a little salt and pepper, or in your favorite salad!

Notes

  • Don't toss those beet greens! They're delicious sauteed (similar to sauteed spinach) and super healthy. I have a recipe for them in my Healthy Meal Prep cookbook.
